On the way home, Rick apologizes to Beth for lying, then uses the syringe to turn back into a human. Morty and Summer express interest in further therapy but Rick and Beth ignore them, instead discussing plans to go out drinking.

Meanwhile the counseling therapist, Dr. Wong, tells Beth that her suspicions about the syringe point to a dynamic between her and Rick that is tearing the family apart. As the group are saying I-messages, Rick enters to get the syringe that will change him back to human form. Dr. Wong uses the occasion to make Beth and Rick speak openly about their grievances. Rick says that he sees no value in therapy because he wants to change the world, not feel comfortable about it. Dr. Wong reminds him that when offered a choice to change the family's strained relationships, he instead risked death as a pickle, and the session ends.

Rick is knocked off the bench and then washed into the sewer during a rain shower. Despite having no movable limbs other than his tongue, he sets up a lab in the sewer and builds himself a cybernetic body from rat corpses. He then uses a jetpack to escape the sewer into a secure compound, where he kills several guards. The compound's administrator sends a prisoner named Jaguar to fight Rick, but Rick persuades Jaguar to join him, and they escape together in the administrator's helicopter.

As Beth, Morty, and Summer prepare for family counseling, Rick informs Morty that he has turned himself into a pickle and cannot go. He denies that he timed the experiment to avoid the counseling session, but the family notices a telltale mechanism rigged to drop a syringe in him soon after they leave. Beth takes the syringe, leaving Rick alone on his workbench.
